Review: Rasheed Araeen 'Before and After Minimalism, 1959 - 1974'
Carlson are in the former Gagosian offices: the Asian-themed Aicon Gallery occupies the former Gagosian gallery space downstairs. But the connection with Pivi is that the among the elegant architecturally-inspired modular minimalism of 1960's Caro enthusiast Rasheed Araeen is the two-part wood construction 'Lovers', which is designed to allow the viewer to arrange it in various different positions.
Araeen, who moved to London after training as a civil engineer in Karachi, riffs further on seriality, kineticism and interactivity in the rest of this appealing partial retrospective. It includes the confidently-named 'Sculpture No 1' from 1965: four I-beams painted the colour of rust.
